Thursday's Sound Off

This is to A Senior Citizen. Get your stuff right. The Republicans are not out after your Medicare, Medicaid or your Social Security. Obama and the Democrats have already cut $780 billion from Medicare. Not the Republicans, the Democrats did it. Get your facts straight.

ANOTHER SENIOR CITIZEN

Who says schools are failing? Take for example, sex ed instruction in school. Can’t say sex ed in school isn’t working. The proof of the pudding — all the single mothers in school not to mention all the single fathers in school. Evidently sex ed instruction in school is one of the most successful curriculums.

For we who are privy to the truth, saw Harry Belafonte on Fox News say, “Anyone who disagrees with Obama should be incarcerated just as Third World dictators do.” We have arrived. The land of the free and the home of the brave is history. Wake up Americans, the left is never right.

I find it amazing with this Benghazi incident. First we have Petraeus resigning because of extracurricular activities. Then we have Ms. Rice taking herself off the list of people for secretary of state. Now we have Hillary Clinton getting sick and having a concussion right before her turn to testify and as her term runs out. And of course Obama will take one of his executive privileges. The four main characters, something wrong with every one of them.

Concerning the shooting in Connecticut, I feel a lot of these shootings are being done because the people are so discouraged right now about what’s going on in this country with all the politicians arguing back and forth and the president says he will not accept anything unless it’s his way. People I think are getting so discouraged they’re doing things that they normally wouldn’t do.

To all those people still crying politics, did you not hear the news about all the precious children and adults being killed in Connecticut? Instead of politics, say a prayer for those innocent children and hug your own children today.

This is for the people who call into Sound Off and say this is for President Obama. I read that with a chuckle because I’m not even sure he gets The Mercury. I’m sure he gets some kind of paper and watches some kind of television so that might be a good gift for him for Christmas. Everybody send him a subscription to The Mercury. And Merry Christmas.

If the news media would spend as much time venting our politicians running for office as what they do for some nut who goes into a classroom and kills 20 kids, may be we would have better politicians. In three days time we know more about the education of one nut versus the education of one president. I don’t care that he was home schooled or sick. We all know that he was sick otherwise he wouldn’t have done what he did.

This is to the person who said Bush was the worst president. I want to disagree and say that Obama is and will be the worse president. Thank you for my $4 raise in Social Security. That will really really help me with the cost of living. But of course I can’t go on Welfare because I’m one of the other people.

TOTALLY DISGUSTED AGAIN

This is about the tragedy in Connecticut. What we need to happen is for our government to stop spending our money foolishly and put it in the budget where all schools have to have security at the doors so none of these crazy kids can get in. I have two daughters who work at the mall and that goes through my head everyday after all this carrying on. Do what has to be done. Homeland security, this is where it starts with our children.

A CONCERNED PARENT

I’ll be home for Christmas, you can count on me. Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree. Christmas Eve will find me where the lovelight gleams. I’ll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.

The 47 percent who pay no taxes are a different subject than the current one in Washington. They’ve been created and have been there. That’s not going to change in this debate. All Democrats are saying is if we need to raise any taxes, which we do, let’s start on the upper wage earners not the middle class working people who do pay taxes and spend the most in the economy. Nobody’s demanding anything. It’s just who’s able to do it more efficiently.
